Food Pantry
The Chubby’s Project stocks two self-serve food pantries with items provided by community members. We work with school and community groups to collect and sort donations, stock the pantry, and educate the public about the needs in Hopewell and beyond.
Soup Delivery
Our newest program is a Tuesday soup delivery service for a small group of our lunch recipients. This program offers another opportunity for connection through a virtual meeting of participants. A local pastor delivers soup donated by local restaurants, visits with recipient, and runs a zoom group for conversation and connection.
Hunger Awareness Walk
The Chubby’s Project has also sponsored two Hunger Awareness Walks in conjunction with the Council of Churches’ Sunday of Service and numerous food drives in conjunction with local 5th graders and Boy Scout troops. These events garnered much needed funds for the project, kept our food pantry stocked through the winter, and raised awareness of food insecurity in our community.
